Is anyone catching anything on lavon or does the rapid rise of the water level have all the fish messed up? Fished all around Collin park and nothing not even shad? Could someone wiser than me explain!!

Crappie are being CAUGHT Right NOW underneath the 380 Bridge/Audie Murphy Pkwy between the towns of Farmersville & Princton !!! Sometimes you have to get out of your comfort zone if you want to get them. Get you some minnows or Jigs and a BOBBER they are there!!

I jigged all over that lake today, like last week, no bites. Also jigged by 380 bridge, no luck. Saw lots of people there, did not see them catching fish. Maybe I just missed it.

Anyways, I need to try plan B, minnows!! So where can you get minnows around lavon?

not one bite under 380. I even drove to them marina and had no luck. Everyone I talked too out there also struck out.

I got one bite today. That's it.

I talked to my Uncle who has a boat slip out on Lavon and he said they haven't come up in the shallows yet that he has seen. Still waiting for the news..... I keep hearing people say they are there and others saying they aren't..... I will believe it when someone post pics until then I say they aren't there yet.

I fished by the damn shallow and deep and nothing. The only thing I did notice is that they are allowing people do drive over the road by the dam I saw all kinds of cars crossing the damn and its been years since I saw that.

Say Whaaa

When I disappear and stop posting, that's when its on.

I'm heading to lavon tomorrow. If they are staging up anywhere I know where to find them. I'll post my findings tomorrow.

If I get a day off work and the wind gives me a break I'll take my kayak out and see if I can find anything. I live just east of Lucas in Branch.

welcome to the forum!

welcome to the forum!

Don`t know where near Lavon I get mine at Fishermans supply

You can get minnows at lakeway, leroys, and a few of the gas stations off of 380.

Thx, I found minnows....caught a couple these, about 5 foot deep, 1 foot off the bottom, on minnow. No where near 380 bridge.

where did you find this guy at I been searching all week

That dog in the background seems pretty intent on watching something. Maybe another line?

Molly's looking for ducks, she's more of a hunter dog than fishing dog......

Getting an answer......GOOD LUCK

I saw him at Mallard...

welcome to the forum!

I just talked with a buddy and he went out last night and blanked. I am going out there Tomorrow night (last day in March) to try it out.

OMG, you guys are zeroing in on my secret spot.

Took me 7 hrs to catch 2 crappie, and I did not see anyone catching fish. When the fish move to the real shallow, less than 3 feet, it's going to be tough fishing with all that flooded vegetation. Do they make weedless jigs?

Yeah, I see someone was following you

you can get weedless jig heads as small as 1/16 ounce

I was at Mallard on Sunday afternoon as well

I just use braid.

Thx, I found some. These could be the ticket when they go real shallow.. These come as small as 1/32. I use 1/16, never used a 1/32 jig.

I'll tell you where the limits at! They're at .................... Oh no my phone locked up !

I went this morning and caught about 5 keepers in about 10 to 15 ft of water . 3 of them had eggs . Water temp was still low . I used jigs to entice them in to minnow baited hooks. Wind made it hard to fish , i could have gotten a few more but couldnt stay on marked fish.

What was water temp? Thanks for report! Hoping to get some lavon crappie this season

I went last night to the slips and it was bad. The only bite that I had was 5 four inch crappies. There weren't many people on B dock, so I knew that it wasn't going to be ON. The water temp was 57 at Collin Park.

Any news.... wait a second..... it got quiet here is that a sign?

Probably, ha ha! I been stuck in the office all week, I'll get after it this weekend, if you dont hear from me that's a sign!!

Can't believe I've had to drive to hubbard to get my fix. This time last year Lavon was on like donkey kong

Aint any Crappie left in Lavon.

This was my fear. Lavon was pounded heavily when it was down. Boat shows in coves catching limts daily. I think lavon will recover, but it may take years and it will require a relatively normal pool level.

Figures I miss out on all the fun. Can't fish in the morning, Sunday I can get out.
